Subject: The Bud&Harriet coupling was like the total opposite of Mac&Harm -- that is -- they were obvious, quick to get together, annoyingly cutesy, and everything worked out despite working in the same command. It seemed to be just a ploy to appease viewers that there was SOME normality to the likelihood of an 'office' romance. That scene with AJ and Mac also unnerved me --

what were the writers thinking -- it was so 'out there'?! Again, they had to find someone to appear like they found Mac attractive. Instead of making it the logical, appropriate choice -- Harm -- they sucked in AJ. Gross.I found the whole 9 years just so unbelievably unrealistic -- 3-4 years -- ok, but 9 years -- c'mon! It was another reason I almost stopped watching when Mac took up with Webb -- I found that coupling annoying. Really smacked of playing games with loyal viewers.

[> That's why they call it "Fanon". There's "Canon" - which is the basic facts and original meanings/intents. Then there is "Fanon", wihch is wishful-thinking on the part of the Fans/Fic-writers that they WANT to be Canon. Another example is that Harm is a die-hard vegan. He never said he was and there is no evidence to support it. Healthy eater, yes. No red meat? possibly. But Vegan? Nope. That's Fanon. -- The Chief, 22:27:13 03/10/14 Mon

[> [> OR, the idea/myth is liked so much by the fans that they replace canon with wishful thinking in their minds. Then it becomes "fact" to them, not realizing that what they believe is inaccurate. -- The Chief, 22:29:14 03/10/14 Mon

[> [> [> Yeah, like the idea that Mac has a key to Harm's apartment. That was never in the show yet it appears in fanfic all the time. -- JJ Ronda, 06:09:40 03/11/14 Tue

[> [> [> [> Right! I don't read a lot of fic anymore - does Harm have a key to Mac's apartment in those stories, too? -- The Chief, 00:41:42 03/18/14 Tue
